Just update Windows Powershell to version 3.0 and I do like this new GUI (Integrated Scripting Environment, ISE) with a console, a script window and a command list (Powershell is a true Windows shell; you may try to type 1+2 in the old CMD console!): I also used a free Powershell GUI product, PowerGUI with […]

Statistical Notes (5): Confidence Intervals for Difference Between Independent Binomial Proportions Using SAS
A guy notices a bunch of targets scattered over a barn wall, and in the center of each, in the "bulls-eye," is a bullet hole. "Wow," he says to the farmer, "that’s pretty good shooting. How’d you do it?" "Oh," says the farmer, "it was easy. I painted the targets after I shot the holes." […]

I have no research on Bayesian and won’t jump to the debates. I’d rather to use this case to apply the Dragon’s Teeth and Fleas logic of hypothesis testing (at least I […]
